Desire Me If You Can-Chapter 32
“This time, we have to beat that kid up!”
DeAndre yelled.
“That’s right, let’s tie him up and drag him here.”
“Let’s not forget to beat him with a club!”
“If the chief stops me again, I’ll beat him up this time!”
“I won’t tolerate it either!”
The guys who had gathered had their anger gauges maxed out. Dane kept his mouth shut as he watched them get excited and go wild as if they were going to grab Grayson Miller and hang him right now. He didn’t want to get caught up in this atmosphere and cause trouble, and he knew that if he got noticed and heard things like he was worse than Miller, he would just feel bad. He just thought that it would end up like that and started doing lat pulldowns again.
Aaaah!
The guys who had been screaming flinched at the loud siren sound. The pause didn’t last even a second. Since they had accumulated a lot of experience, they jumped out immediately like springs. Dane also put down the equipment and ran at full speed. In an instant, he put on all his firefighter clothes and jumped out at the entrance of the fire station, and Wilkins opened the passenger door of the fire truck and shouted.
“Get in quickly! Hurry up! Hurry up, get in quickly!”
Wilkins swung his arms wildly and urged his teammates. Ezra, who was about to get in the car, stopped as he heard the team leader’s repeated shouts as if his stomach was burning. When his colleagues, who were standing behind him, stopped as well, he looked flustered and shouted to one side.
“Hey, Miller! What are you doing? Don’t get in quickly! Come quickly!”
The other guys who were just blinking in bewilderment realized the situation belatedly and distorted their faces. Grayson, who was standing there leaning against the wall, frowned as if he didn’t understand why they were insisting on taking him. However, Ezra ignored him and continued to call his name.
“Get in, hurry! Come here, we have to go!”
“Hey, are you crazy?”
A guy who came to his senses belatedly grabbed Ezra’s shoulder urgently. With a hushed voice and glaring eyes, he continued to urge Ezra.
“Why are you calling that kid? What help is he?”
“Yeah, it’s good if he doesn’t mess up. If he does, we’ll all end up in ashes together.”
“Just leave him alone, you get in quickly.”
The other guys also joined in and said something. At first glance, their words seemed reasonable, but Ezra thought differently.
“Hey, what if you leave that kid here and he really sets the fire station on fire? Who would be watching that kid?”
Grayson Miller was a ticking time bomb, so to speak. He did crazy things when they were right in front of him, but what kind of disaster would he cause if he were left out of their sight? Surely their fire department, their job, would disappear and they would be pitching tents on the street.
The voices that had been urging him stopped all at once at those words. Ezra, who had been looking at the shaking eyes for a moment, nodded.
If you are reading this translation anywhere other than Novelight.net or SilkRoadTL, it has been stolen.
“If he’s not right in front of them, he’ll cause trouble right away, that kid. I’d rather drag him out and have him hang around there. Then someone among us or someone among the onlookers will find out what he’s doing.”
Ezra’s words were so plausible. Considering the fact that they had been talking about him right before they left, his concerns were quite convincing.
“That makes sense.”
As one person agreed, others with the same opinion poured out one after another.
“Right, let’s take him. I feel uneasy when he’s not in front of me.”
“I don’t think he’ll really set fire to it... ... .”
“That kid is an alpha, a psychopath. He’ll definitely do something we can’t even imagine. We have to prevent our library from disappearing, right?”
If it was possible to prevent that danger by just taking him, they could have done it. Thanks to that, everyone’s opinions were unanimous, and they all started shouting at Grayson.
“Miller, hurry up! We’re finally going!”
“Yeah, you passed the test, now you have to become a real firefighter!”
“Let’s go, I’ll make room for you too. Miller, hurry up!”
Grayson still stood there with an unpleasant expression at the shouting. However, they didn’t # Nоvеlight # give in and continued to call him. Despite the loud siren blaring, they didn’t seem to move unless Grayson got on.
“Ha.”
Finally, Grayson let out an annoyed sigh and pushed away from the wall. His expression was filled with boredom as he walked toward the car, but everyone pretended not to notice and waited. And when he got close enough to reach, the rest of the guys, including Ezra, grabbed Grayson’s arm as if they had been waiting and shoved him into the car.
“Let’s go, let’s go! Dane, what are you doing? Get in quickly!”
The guys who got on the car one after another called Dane. Dane, who had been watching them with a pitiful expression until then, got on the fire truck last without saying a word. Wilkins’s shout was heard from behind.
“Slow, slow! DeAndre, you get on over there! Everyone’s on? We’re leaving!”
Wilkins, who was about to get on the car right away, suddenly found Grayson sitting in the back seat. He flinched as he suddenly remembered what the chief had said, but he didn’t have time to waste. I had no choice but to get into the passenger seat, and the guy in the driver’s seat started the car right away. And the fire truck raced down the road with a loud siren.
The fire broke out in a very quiet residential area. The old neighborhood that I always saw when I drove by was always quiet and peaceful. It was a place where I often saw children playing and old people leisurely tending to their gardens. How could there be a fire in such a place?
“My mother-in-law lives there too.”
One of my colleagues, a father of two daughters, said visibly anxiously. He was worried about his family at home, so he made a quick phone call to his home. The other guy asked Wilkins.
“Have all the people there evacuated?”
“They’re all helping to put out the fire, so it must be a mess right now. If it got too big, everyone would have evacuated. I hope there aren’t any casualties... ... . We should go and check quickly.”
Dane, who was silently waiting for the destination with his arms folded while listening to the conversations of his colleagues coming and going, suddenly stopped looking at one place. It was because Grayson, sitting across from him, was looking at him. When their eyes met, the sweet scent that he always felt when he was near that kid became even stronger. It wasn't because of the closed environment of the car. Dane wasn't the only one who felt that, as the other guys also turned their eyes to Grayson.
Originally, controlling pheromones was a very basic manner, just like everyone else keeping TPO. Of course, the super-alphas who live in their own way don't seem to care about such things at all.
Grayson didn't seem to mind at all, even though they were receiving uncomfortable looks. On the contrary, everyone hesitated and shut their mouths at Grayson Miller's face, who seemed excited about his first sortie, with a faint blush on his cheeks. Dane thought to himself, “Well, that’s right,” as he watched his colleagues who had been criticizing him so much in the gym completely avoiding eye contact.
It would only be a loss if he confronted a crazy person head-on. It was a rule he had kept throughout his life, but unlike the others, Dane did not take his eyes off him. Instead, he frowned, squinted his eyes, leaned back on his chair, and arrogantly spread his legs, and Grayson, who was sitting across from him, also stared at Dane with his mouth shut. For a while, the two just glared at each other. No one opened their mouths. Only an uncomfortable silence continued in the fast-moving car.
Grayson was the first to change his expression. His crooked mouth and smirk made it seem like he was swearing. Dane wiggled his eyebrows, but that was all. Watching him like that, Grayson thought of what someone had said.
“If you help others while doing that, it also means that someone else will appear. Anyway, the keyword is fire.”
